people always like to say that the devs always wanted to make open world games and I cannot overstate enough how little that impacts which core gameplay loop I prefer

me: I don't like games veering into massive open worlds, I preferred the older more closed off worlds of the past other person: but they've always wanted to make these massive open worlds!!! me: cool, maybe we need to bring back technical limitations then

the shit that people hate about nintendo direct - a smooth-talking tour guide telling you how you're supposed to feel, what's supposed to charm you, with all the emotional complexity of dora the explorer - is baked into so many games now!! most nintendo output, yes, but it's more broadly endemic!

re prime 4 discourse, todasy is as good a time as any to say: video games talk AT you way too much in the 2020s! i'm not talking abt too much narrative (not a real issue). i'm talking abt a constant, patronizing use of narration to /predigest/ everything from challenge to mood to emotional impact!

let's not try to turn this into a thing okay, he's gone on the record saying he doesn't like scifi (even when he was on the show, he wasn't a fan of the scifi episodes, he liked the pure historicals they did back then), this isn't an attack on the show or anything

My 10pm hot? take: the reason skyrims never been recreated is because skyrim is a sandbox with a thinly veiled idea of a plot. to recreate skyrim you need to make a game that cares only about being a vessel for adventure rather than an adventure itzelf

Gaming isnt for poor canadians anymore. gaming is bougie now.
